Good Article Editathon event in October 2022

Hello WikiProject Countering systemic bias:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in October 2022!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event – Wildcard Edition! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to any and all women and women's works during the event period. Want to improve an article about a Bollywood actress? Go for it. A pioneering female scientist? Absolutely. An award-winning autobiography by a woman? Yes! GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship

If this project is active, then any interested parties can see Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship, my recent diff, and the edit I made to the talk page there. I haven't the time to fix this example of gender bias at the moment, but if someone else wants to counter it, then feel free. What better way to subliminally tell women they don't matter than not listing their accomplishments when we do list the males? Many thanks. Biosthmors (talk) 16:25, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page here is fairly moribund (at least when compared to something like WT:MED). This despite 186 members being listed. It didn't take long to scroll down to reach the deceased User:SlimVirgin in the history. May God rest her soul. Maybe someone can cross post this to gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org ? What explains the inactivity here? Any thoughts User:WhatamIdoing? I'm not a cultural expert, but I wonder if there's any waning of identity politics playing a role. Years ago, there seemed to be such buzz around the topic of "closing the gender gap." Is actually closing the gap just thankless, unpleasant, and never-ending work? Have "thought leaders" and/or WP:WMF leadership ideologically meandered elsewhere? Or am I just posting at the wrong spot?! Biosthmors (talk) 16:48, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the list. Two-thirds of the editors have been on wiki some time during the last year or so. I think this page might have reached the end of its natural usefulness, due to the creation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red.
For this particular article, I would ask for help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:33, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
